Easy. They don't think it's a problem!

Because, explicitly from you, those who think different are simply (explicit and implicit, or casual and active, or something to that effect) racists as one of your specific go-tos, if I remember correctly.

And, its statements like you have made here like that explicitly that have led some of us to the 'just zip it' stage.

When people's knee jerk reaction to any opinion difference is in line with that response of yours that I am referring to above, it doesnt tend to help with the issue no matter how good that vent mode makes you feel better.

For those who don’t think conservative victimhood is alive and well, I present to you Exhibit A.

I have no idea how Interested’s post is twisted into EXPLICITLY calling someone a racist. Or how it can be extended to saying that people who think differently are racist.

Seriously, the liberals on this board are typecasted as stereotypical progressives from the conservative point of view far more than the conservatives here are typecasted as stereotypical right wingers from the liberal point of view.

Interested, maybe two months ago, explicitly defined Repubs as something or other and something or other 'racists'. I am merely recalling that explicit post from him at that time -- not trying to denote this current drive bay as that.

I should have been more explicit in my comment I can see.

Was it this one?

"These goombahs who rail on and on about the "dangers" of CRT aren't interested in analyzing anything. They just want to be reassured everything is fine and dandy since we let those folks we previously enslaved into our schools (under federal duress, natch). There is no more racism in American institutions or organizations, right?"
